thanks for meeting me I see I've never been to a show like this before I'm used to buying off the rack never not even an emergency it's better to stay home than to be seen in rags i thought they called it the rag business it's how much you pay for the right to makes a difference and nestle is very expensive [Music] yes she's matriarch of all this guru I always read about her in the society columns just such style [Music] which one do you like I'm not sure [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh I think I like this one borrow your pen [Music] you love you look great Ruby very little Alchemist don't you think very if that's what you want well it's important for me to fit in here it's different for you guys you come from money you're used to it are you kidding peach at all the credentials I'm strictly middle-class well I'm not even that I grew up on a ranch in Montana well not really a ranch it was more like a shack with a few chickens and a mother who didn't give a damn about fashion for me but you seemed so comfortable around those people guys I'm sure they'll not well maybe it's because I don't care what they think about me and you do well if you don't care then why do you bother it's a distraction keeps my mind off worse things now look Ruby I work for a magazine that caters to those people they invite me because I write articles about them the rich love to read about themselves otherwise I wouldn't be invited well there's no harm in mingling yes as long as you don't join the club believe me all they care about is the money you donate to their charities not at all and who you are I don't want you to get hurt well thanks for the one artichokes you're so ugly guess the only thing you can do with them is eat them one year my daughter made a Christmas wreath out of them didn't look bad and after about a week started to smell that Becky was so proud of it we kept it up until Easter you must miss her terribly I'm sorry Gus maybe you don't want to talk about this it was a time that that's all I talked about you know I can do what my anger was to scream it everyone about anything then I stopped talking about it I felt no one cared as far as everyone else was concerned justice had been death subject was closed but your anger hasn't gone away I don't think it ever will [Music] this is a twenty places for the first I haven't seen you for a while Bernie it's like you've been spending your time uptown like you're like gonna be Justin Altemus Justine this is Michael Warren yo this jump thank you glad to meet you what's a nice girl like you doing with a poem like this you're trying to change my image well grab any tables no reservations necessary I like Mike but I'll have to save my review until after we eat the food because it's not quite what I'm used to I bet you Clarence is is more to your taste huh what's Haiti or is it the political people you decide the food well that makes sense no one goes there to eat anymore everyone goes there to be seen in to look at each other you're not like that I understand I'm trying hard not to be my else would I be with you mean you're you're just slumming likely cuz you're doing the same thing wanting to know how the other half you know you just want to know how the other half [Music] justine oh no no it's okay Juanito just got some bad news about a friend I said what brings you down here gonna buy a piece of our mother would never approve I think I'm getting serious about someone for the first time in my life congratulations is his name Bernard slacking and you're worried about what she'll say don't be we can't live our lives according to mother's rules or else we won't have him and God knows life is short enough as it is Tawana doh I hope his friends okay [Music] [Music] it is well meant when friends say to us I know how you feel but they can't really know how we feel only someone who has experienced that the tragedy that we have experienced can know someone liked it the total stranger sitting next to you now that person can understand our feelings of anger or rage feelings no matter what they are they're only feeling something they're not right or wrong and even the most negative fantasies are not wrong to feel it would only be wrong if we translated them into action what about justice my daughter is dead but the man who murdered her is still alive and the only punishment he received is to serve three years in jail three years compared to my child's entire life somehow the rights of the victim do not equate with the rights of the criminal that's true and I think that that's something we should all work very hard to change we have to change it we owe it to the people we loved this is the last business of their lives my son he was beaten to death in a racial encounter and I I don't know how to reconcile my feelings towards the men who did it mister what would you do if you ever saw the man who killed your child what I want to do is kill him and it scares the hell outta me [Music] but that's what I feel I want to kill him really aren't different from all the others those women I've known they are and worked and they have worked at work and you know consider what I do Korea should be this what's in it driven by it you're just there for me there just for me and not always thinking about the next power breakfast I've never known anyone like you you know I told my an astronaut the SOL about you I said that you were almost as tall as me and that you were fine looking oh is that all oh no I also told him that I was gonna marry you [Music] without asking me first that's exactly what making history yes the answers yes [Music] if you sat there and you watch live I look up that white suit and you told movie rental goodbye exactly the same one I know you did I did don't lie to me Eddie you know someone's gonna tell her what to wear forgot 6 work me tomorrow what makes you think that the average Joe will pay good money to read a book about me
